How can Bilingual Kids help your child?

Bilingual Kids provides private English support for children in Hiroshima, both children whose first language is English and children learning English as a second language. The support for each child is highly personalized to address individual needs and goals, with the greater aim of helping the child become as fully bilingual as possible.

At the heart of Bilingual Kids is a large library of children’s literature—including popular chapter book series—that students have access to as a key component of their customized support. By reading more regularly in English, children are able to strengthen all aspects of their language ability at a solid pace.

Although his own children attend local Japanese schools, he has put this expertise into practice and they are now bilingual and biliterate, in Japanese and English, at a level comparable to monolingual children of each language.

How is enrollment handled? (Please note that enrollment is limited!)

Children generally receive private English support once a week for 60 minutes.

The Bilingual Kids classroom is conveniently located in Ushita, not far from Hiroshima Jogakuin University. (Children are dropped off and then picked up.)

The fee for each session is 5,000 yen. (There is also a one-time joining fee of 5,000 yen.)

Parents cover the cost of workbooks and other learning materials. (But books from the Bilingual Kids library are lent freely.)
